Former Indian batter Vinod Kambli is not in the pink of health. A video of the 52-year-old former cricketer struggling to walk has surfaced on the internet.
Apparently, Kambli walked to reach a place. When he was on the street, he took support of a bike parked nearby to walk. As the people near him saw him struggle, they offered him help to reach the place he wanted to.
Media person Narendra Gupta shared that video of Kambli on his Instagram page, writing:
“Former cricketer Vinod Kambli is battling poor health. Vinod Kambli, a former Indian cricketer, has been open about his struggles with health issues and personal problems in recent years. He has been hospitalized several times due to various health concerns, including heart problems and depression. I hope he recovers soon and gets the support he needs!”
Kambli played 17 Tests and 104 ODI matches for India from 1993 to 2000. His last domestic cricket appearance came for Mumbai in a first-class match against Madhya Pradesh in 2004, where he scored 92 runs in two innings.
Vinod Kambli has had health issues in the past as well
As mentioned by Narendra Gupta in his Instagram post’s caption, Kambli has had issues with health in the past. Back in 2013, Kambli had a heart attack when he was driving home from Chembur. A police officer took him to the hospital at the right time, and his condition was stable soon. A year before that, he underwent angioplasty on his two blocked arteries.
Kambli’s health improved after the issues he faced in early 2010s. However, looking at the recent video of the former Indian cricketer, it is evident that he is having some troubles with health again, although the exact details of his health problems are not known at the moment.
